We liked this book although we wished there were more builds that can be built using "typical LEGO collection". The models in the book need very sophisticated LEGO parts and are very specific on color and need great deals of both experience and creativity. So this book is an arts book, nature art out of LEGO and not a tutorial for average builders to learn how to make natural scene models. You can still find some little models that can be imitated and some partial ideas to copy to your models. The book author is apparently one of the few top class LEGO gurus as he built plants, animals, ..etc with great detail and beauty. Paper quality is great.

By Quinn Rollins No Starch Press has become the go-to publisher for fans of LEGO who want something a little more than the mass market books that LEGO itself puts out. LEGO's official publications are understandably geared toward children, which is as it should be. No Starch Press has tapped into the market of adults who are either nostalgic enough to remember how much they loved LEGO, or who are rediscovering playing with LEGO themselves, or that rarest of adult--the ones who see LEGO as an artistic medium in its own right. This last group of people are highlighted in Mike Doyle's "Beautiful LEGO: Wild!"This is Doyle's third "Beautiful LEGO" book, following the original and "Beautiful LEGO: Dark." All three have Doyle more as a curator of the best LEGO builds from around the world than an author. He includes a few of his own pieces in the mix, but most of these models are things that are clearly labors of love by other Adult Fans Of LEGO (AFOLs). These artists have found ways to use LEGO to make sculptures and mosaics of landscapes, birds, fish, insects, cartoon characters, and mythical creatures, all under the overarching theme of "Wild."In the preface, Doyle writes that "Seeing how simple shapes combine to give the illusion of a bigger picture is exciting." The way the builders do that varies, and you can see the how the styles of different artists impact how they use these plastic bricks to create organic shapes.Some favorite pieces:Peacock, by Sean Kenney -- using only standard LEGO bricks, making a pixelated kind of animal; Kenney has touring zoo exhibits with dozens of his creations, many of which are life-sized.Sachiko Akinaga's Sea Otter Mum & Pup. This gets more complex, moving beyond only rectangular bricks, adding different angles, rounded pieces, and LEGO facing different directions.Mike Doyle's own piece, Appalachian Mountaintop Removal, is a good example of the scale of some of these projects; at around 10,000 pieces, it's enormous, but is also depicting an entire mountainside. The jumble of vegetation is all made with different LEGO building techniques--most of the conifers are actually LEGO flower stems, simply turned upside-down. Chris Maddison's Wilderness Cabin on the right is another good example of a very small-scale model, again using a completely different mode of tree-building.Andrew Simonson's Ereg Durin is one of the many minifigure-scaled builds that demonstrate living with nature; understandably, many of these depict scenes from or inspired by the elves in "Lord of the Rings"--great examples of building organically and in harmony with nature. Out of ABS plastic that will last forever.I'm including Andrei Pacurar's Steamworks Owl not just because it's beautiful, but also because it reminds me of "Clash of the Titans." There are sections of the book highlighting "Artificial Life," and this is one of the best examples of that.Truthfully, every page of this volume is worth highlighting in a review. Which would be writing a book about the book which would be both Inception-y and copyright violation. I love that Doyle credits the builders in an appendix at the back of the book, he thanks those who participated in a competition to be included, and it feels more like a collaborative achievement than something that Doyle just cooked up on his own. There are similar books out there that obscure where some of the builds came from, I like that the artists get full credit here.If you are, or have ever been, a fan of LEGO, "Beautiful LEGO: Wild!" is a gorgeous way to celebrate that fandom. The printing is high quality, the binding is softbound, but more durable than standard paperback/trade paperback format. It's a great addition to your coffee table oryour playroom. If you're a LEGO builder yourself, you'll find inspiration here. If you have a LEGO-loving loved one, and you're not sure what to buy them for Christmas because they already have Every Damn Thing, this is a great gift idea. In any case, this book is by the fans and for the fans. They get it right.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. LEGO Wild! Incredibly colorful critter creations! By Ashley Glennon Beautiful LEGO WILD! bursts with color from start to finish in this 200 page collection of organic LEGO sculptures. Unlike Mike Doyle’s last book which featured dark LEGO creations, this book celebrates the brighter end of the spectrum where colorful critters jump, fly, spring and splash off every page.Doyle is a masterful curator and continues to showcase the best LEGO creations in the world. More than 100 LEGO builders are featured in this softbound volume which covers a good portion of the plant and animal kingdom. The book opens with some natural landscapes, then quickly moves to trees, flowers, birds, frogs, fish, and dogs. If it has fur, fins, feet or a beak it’s probably in this book, including a LEGO cameo of the grumpy cat. While most creations are photo realistic and natural, Doyle packs in the smiles, too, with plenty of cartoonish bears, beavers, mice and monkeys. The overall tone of this book is amazingly upbeat.Although this book is not an instruction book, there are dozens of small creatures that can be copied just by looking at the photos. Additionally, many models in this book are small by design, making them within reach of many builders. Of course it will help to have a giant LEGO collection in the entire rainbow of colors.Similar to Doyle’s previous books, this book is heavy on photos and light on text. This isn’t a concern though, as this is an inspirational picture book designed to impress. And impress it does, one beady-eyed bug at a time.I give this book five stars for the upbeat tempo and for delivering what the Rainbow Lorikeet implies on the cover—perfectly packed pages of prismatic perfection.
